Freezing - Tips and Quick Questions thread

We freeze ours as well if we don't eat it for lunch the next day. I don't have a microwave so I heat the main dishes in a pan till boiling hot and reheat the rice in a covered casserole dish in the oven till it's really hot.

Hi

Can you tell me if I can freeze black forest ham so I can use it at a later date? I use it instead of parma ham wrapped around salmon/chicken.

Thanks..

Pink.

Hi Nicola,

Provided it hasn't been frozen previously it should be fine to freeze. I freeze ham all the time with no problems, just let it defrost slowly in the fridge.

for the herbs you can also make a herb butter , just mix with butter, wrap into a sausage in cling film and freeze, you can slice off individual portions, great for mash, veg pasta etc;-)

Hi I know one of you great old stylers will know the answer.
I'm in the middle of making some blackberry and apple pies. I want to freeze some of them, do I freeze them cooked or uncooked?

Thank you in advance.

Either way works.

Don't bother, just send them round to me!

Not tried it with pies, but blackberry and apple crumbles freezes fine uncooked. When I make crumbles I 'batch make' .. .one for the oven and some for the freezer, because I tend to make too much crumble mix. This is because I tend not to weigh things out, I just throw flour and olive spread in a bowl, rub in the crumbs and then stir in oats and sugar to the right consistency :rolleyes: Fortunately OH loves crumbles

Thank you everyone, 2 pies now in the freezer. Decided to leave one out to eat too, well I've got to make sure they taste ok
Have cooked them before freezing .
